The German Federal Archives or Bundesarchiv (BArch) (, lit. "Federal Archive") are the national archives of Germany. They were established at the current location in Koblenz in 1952. They are subordinated to the Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media (Claudia Roth since 2021) under the German Chancellery, and before 1998, to the Federal Ministry of the Interior (Germany), Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Heinkel He 70
The Heinkel He 70 ''Blitz'' ("lightning") was a fast monoplane aircraft designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Heinkel, Heinkel Flugzeugwerke. It was the first ''Schnellbomber'' operated by the Luftwaffe. Development of the He 70 began in the early 1930s in response to a request from ''Deutsche Lufthansa'' for a fast mail plane. Heinkel designed a low-wing cantilever monoplane with various measures to minimise Drag_(physics)#Aerodynamics, drag, including an aerodynamically efficient elliptical wing, a smooth external finish, and a retractable undercarriage. The He 70 was powered by a single BMW VI 7.3 Z engine and cooled by a compact retractable Radiator (engine cooling), radiator as a further drag-reducing measure. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 1 December 1932 and set eight separate Flight airspeed record, world speed records over the following months. The He 70 was adopted by Deutsche Lufthansa in 1934, although its commercial career was rela ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Heinkel He 177
The Heinkel He 177 ''Greif'' (Griffin) was a long-range heavy bomber flown by the ''Luftwaffe'' during World War II. The introduction of the He 177 to combat operations was significantly delayed by problems both with the development of its engines and frequent changes to its intended role. Nevertheless, it was the only long-range, heavy bomber to become operational with the ''Luftwaffe'' during the conflict. The He 177 had Payload#Relationship of range and payload, a payload/range capability similar to that of four-engined heavy bombers used by the Allies in the Western Front (World War II), European theatre. Work on the design began in response to a 1936 requirement known as Bomber A, issued by the Ministry of Aviation (Nazi Germany), ''Reichsluftfahrtministerium'' (RLM) for a purely strategic bomber. Thus, the He 177 was intended originally to be capable of a sustained bombing campaign against Soviet Union, Soviet manufacturing capacity, Ural economic region, dee ...

He 219
The Heinkel He 219 ''Uhu'' (" Eagle-Owl") is a night fighter designed and produced by the German aircraft manufacturer Heinkel. It primarily served with the ''Luftwaffe'' in the later stages of the Second World War. Work on the He 219 began in mid 1940 as a multi-purpose aircraft designated ''P.1055''. It was a relatively sophisticated design that possessed a variety of innovations, including a Cabin pressurization, pressurized cockpit, twin ejection seats and remotely controlled defensive Aircraft gun turret, gun turrets. The P.1055 was initially rejected by the ''Ministry of Aviation (Germany), Reichsluftfahrtministerium'' (RLM – the German Aviation Ministry), but Heinkel promptly reconfigured it as a night fighter, designated ''P.1060''. In this capacity, it was equipped with a Lichtenstein radar#FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN-2, Lichtenstein SN-2 advanced VHF-band intercept radar (also used on the Junkers Ju 88, Ju 88G and Messerschmitt Bf 110, Bf 110G night fighters).
